Deciding on a location for a facility is an overwhelming, often times expensive, process.

Among other things, you have to find available properties that are right for your business, decide upon the right city or county to locate the facility, and figure out geographic advantages of different business locations.

When it comes to real estate, we all know that it’s a matter of location, location, location. Select the right location and your business can thrive. Settle in the wrong location can it could be costly.

The key to finding the best location is to have good information upon which to make the decision.

How’d you like to be able to do a lot of this “prospecting” without having to travel to visit multiple sites, and without having to deal with brokers?

If you would, you might want to give ZoomProspector a try. It’s a free web-based service that provides demographic data on thousands of communities across the US.

These cities and counties have detailed map information, along with particulars on such matters as transportation, taxation, city planning, and more.

You define the community and property characteristics important to you, and the service uses a variety of technologies, including matchmaking technology (like that used for finding a date/mate), to find and display the locations that are a match.

The result: a faster process of site selection analysis so that companies can quickly identify the optimal location for their business start-up, expansion, or relocation.

Ain’t technology something.
